OPEN DOORS USA : CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION : WORLD WATCH LIST
13 Christians murdered for following Jesus every day, that’s nearly 400 Christians dying every month, just because they follow Jesus.

January 18, 2021 by Lindy Lowry in Africa
our research for Open Doors’ 2021 World Watch List — the most in-depth investigative report focusing on global Christian persecution available — reveals that each day of the reporting period for the list, from October 2019 to September 2020, an average of 13 Christians were violently killed for their faith.
See the 2021 World Watch List
This year, the total number of Christian martyrs increased from 4,305 (WWL 2020) to 4,761 (WWL 2021). Keep in mind that this number is likely to be much lower than the actual reality because, especially in closed countries like North Korea and Afghanistan or conflict-ridden places like Somalia and Libya, killings are often done in secrecy and/or go unreported. No one in a North Korean prison camp or a Muslim tribe in Somalia is reporting the murder of a Christian. Yet Open Doors has talked to thousands of believers and refugees to know that Christians are dying for their faith — every day.
And many Christians die because of their increased vulnerability in conflict, through long-term deprivation of basic necessities, or exclusion from socioeconomic aid.
Across the top 50 countries on the World Watch List, pressure is rising. In 2021, all 50 countries registered a “very high” level of persecution, up from 45 in 2020. The total points of persecution scores in these 50 countries have spiked, and the threshold to get into the top 50 has risen again.
Persecution against Christians has risen for 15 consecutive years.

What does persecution look like in Nepal? What is life like for Christians?
In Nepal, converts from Hinduism are put under the most pressure; they are viewed as deviating from the faith of the ancestors, and therefore breaking with their culture and their national identity. Converts—and members of Protestant churches—experience pressure from family, friends, community and local authorities. Roman Catholic churches, as well as churches where more foreigners attend, often have fewer issues.
Nepal has a great deal of political instability, driven by governmental infighting as well as a constant push-and-pull between powerful neighbors China and India. Hindu extremists occasionally take advantage of this fact by attacking Christians.
There is also an anti-conversion law in place in Nepal, which recently has been used to expel foreign citizens. This law can be broadly applied, and since it says that anyone who causes an individual to convert to a different religion can be imprisoned, fined or deported, it has been used to target Christians. In some areas, Christians were also left out of COVID-19 relief that the government provided, re-emphasizing their status as second-class citizens.

“In my village they do not allow me to fetch water from the village well, and we are not allowed to even touch the handle of the water pump.”
What has changed in Nepal?
Nepal fell two spots from 2020 to the 2021 World Watch List—and yet, persecution actually rose. But persecution rose worldwide, so it means Nepal is lower on the list. Pressure is high for Christians in every sphere of life, particularly in their private and national lives. This shows how restrictive life is for Christian converts from Hinduism, and how much the governing authorities make life difficult for followers of Christ.
Who is most vulnerable to persecution?
Christians who convert from Hinduism are at most risk in Nepal. Often this is worse in rural areas than in urban settings. Additionally, all Christians are at risk of accusations under the anti-conversion law.
What does Open Doors do to help Christians in Nepal?
Open Doors works through church partners and volunteers in Nepal. The ministry is focused in several areas, such as Bible and Christian material distribution, training for church leaders and Christians (including persecution preparedness training) socio-economic aid (including emergency aid for COVID-19) legal help and advocacy, and special projects as requested by the local church.

Pray for Nepal
Pray that Christians in Nepal will have wisdom to know how to share their faith safely, and boldness to continue sharing the gospel. Pray God will soften the hearts of those enforcing the restrictions on evangelism, and that He might draw them to Himself through the courageous witness of our brothers and sisters.
Pray for Christian women in Nepal who face persecution from their family members. Many are beaten, threatened, not allowed to go to church, rejected and left alone. Please pray that, with God’s strength, these women will continue to stand strong in their faith, and through them God would bring their entire families to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Pray for believers who live in very remote villages. It is difficult for our local partners to contact them, and when they go through persecution, it can be difficult for our partners to reach them quickly. Pray for the Christians in these villages, that God would strengthen them and provide for their needs.

A pastor in Iran has been the target of religious discrimination and is currently detained in Evin prison, a prison known for its harsh treatment of prisoners, poor living conditions, and the use of torture on inmates. The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention released an opinion stating that Pastor Nadarkhani's imprisonment is arbitrary and calls upon Iran to remedy the situation without delay.

Please join us in prayer for 317 schoolgirls who were recently kidnapped by gunmen in northwest Nigeria. We pray that they would all be released without harm.
The gunmen stormed the school in the middle of the night dressed as security guards. It became apparent that they were abducting them once the girls were forced onto trucks and the gunmen sporadically opened fire.
"When they came into the school, we thought they were security personnel, but to our utmost fear and dismay, they started putting the girls into Hilux vehicles and motorcycles then drove out of the school," the staff member said.
"This is a gross violation of children's rights and a horrific experience for children to go through — one which could have long-lasting effects on their mental health and well-being," he said.
Although a group has not claimed responsibility, the mass kidnapping is eerily similar to one perpetrated by Boko Haram in 2014 where 270 Christian schoolgirls were kidnapped, 100 of whom are still missing.
